Izzie Yardley is a singer/songwriter whose debut self-produced singles were released in the 2020 lockdown, to great acclaim. Rooted in British songwriting traditions of the 60s/70s coffee house scene, of which John Martyn, Paul Simon and Bert Jansch were a part, Izzie’s songs tell stories woven into musically rich pieces, which nod to a childhood spent listening to classical, Jazz, Nick Drake and Kate Bush. Live, this becomes a performance that is both bold and powerfully vulnerable.
Her publicly-funded debut EP was recorded last year with producer Dom Monks (Big Thief, Courtney Marie Andrews), Ethan Johns (Ray Lamontagne, Crosby, Stills & Nash) and Nick Pini (Laura Marling, Nick Mulvey). Debut single 'All We Have' is released February 17th 2023 on Karousel Buried Treasure/AWAL.
Recently she has received support from PRS Foundation and Help Musicians, played festivals including Glastonbury and Black Deer and sung backing vocals for Tom Jones and Freddie & The Scenarios.
